[PATCH] tests: Create bogus R/nothing.rpm with cyclic symlink.

[Mark Wielaard <mark@klomp.org>]

We used to try to trigger an error during debuginfod scanning using
a chmod 000 file. But this doesn't always result in an error. Create
a cyclic symlink instead, which always results in a failure to open/read.
